Solar panels waste is an emerging issue in coming future. Categorization of solar panels along with their components. Recovery from crystalline and thin film solar panels are evaluated from literature. Challenges faced during recycling has been reviewed and reported.
As the demand for sustainable waste management solutions grows, companies specializing in PV recycling, like Okon Recycling, are rising to the challenge—ensuring that solar energy remains a truly green solution from installation to end-of-life disposal.
However, currently it has become a source of hazardous e-waste subsequent to the end-of-life period of 25–30 years. A report by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 2016 estimated the generation of 78 million tons of e-waste from solar panels.
As solar energy gains widespread adoption, a significant challenge emerges: the recycling of photovoltaic (PV) panels at the end of their 25-30 year lifespan. This presents a complex issue that the industry is striving to address.
